we're talking about problem in the debt and deficit. the fiscal cliff comes at the first of the year. there is no doubt that if we don't work together, we are dead in the water. mike, there have been plenty of proposals out there that make sense for this country. big broad based proposals. talked about many of them. they're the simpson-bowls and the list goes on. all sorts of gangs. the bottom line is those templates can be put together. it has to have everything in it, everything has to be addressed. people need to work together. i think there's critical minds in senate to get it done. when we talk about sequestration and the fiscal year, that was imposed on us a bipartisan way to get it done. we have to work together. it is easily fixed. like i said in the beginning, it's what montana do naturally. in washington d.c., we need to learn from montana. >> thank you representative rehberg, one minute. >> first thing we need to do is repeal obamacare. that will be the first action that we need to work on a bipartisan solution to the farm bi

some serious deficit reduction. and i think when he looks at the math, if the three choices if, what i've outlined is correct and almost every expert agrees, you can only have two of those. which is the one that even he might go for? i'm not saying he will say that tomorrow. but i don't think he'll be the president so it won't matter. but that's what i think. >> does this put pressure on your colleagues? >> you know, there's no pressure i can put on them. i can propose an idea and see people grasp it. if it helps move things forward, that is my intention and i hope that's what happens. >> i want to double-check in terms of major retirement entitlement reform. one of the big issues is raising the age. are you taking it off the table? >> no, i am not taking anything off the table. i have been personally against raising the age. i continue to be. i have never on any of these issues say i will not support this bill. i don't think raising the age will happen. i think there's a lot of opposition to it. >> you just mention

how he would reduce the deficit? by when? did anyone ask? >> i mean, there's two components to his tax reform plan. one is a huge tax cut, which is going to add up to $5 trillion. and the other is to pay for it. so he's been explicit about one part, which is the tax cut. he hasn't been detailed about the last part. but obama never pressed him on this. that's your point. these are 90-minute forums, they're highly intense. >> you just did it, mika, so why couldn't he? >> that's what i'm wondering. >> everybody out there, democrats were yelling at the camera. >> because it's been the conversation for a month. and for the president not to know -- >> it's stunning, isn't it, sam? it's stunning. but mike, you know, if romney is moving to the center, if he is changing his positions, that's probably good for him electorally. usually candidates do that -- every candidate does that at the convention. mitt romney seemed to do it in the middle of his first debate. >> yeah, well, he could have done it at the convention and no one would have noticed given
